Runaway Heart — Teresa Slack

Kyla Parrish yearns for love and security. But her heart can't be trusted. Can she find what she longs for in the most unlikely place--home? Running at the first sign of opposition is nothing new to Kyla Parrish. She's never held onto a relationship for more than a few months, and she's quit more jobs than most people apply for. Until Will Lachland. He's the first man who ever made her think of getting serious about something, about putting down roots. But she can't forget her mother's ominous warning. Men are users. They take and take and leave nothing but a shell of who she wants to be. Fear of losing her heart to anyone or anything has kept Kyla running all her life. A new man and a new life seem like the answer to her prayers. But things are never as simple as they seem. Can she find the love she longs for even though she can't forget Will? Or is something else, something greater, calling her heart toward home?
